QtCreator 1.3, Qt 4.6.2 and build problem with cmake on windows

Question

Hi, I'm trying to build a cmake project from QtCreator. When I open the project I need to give an argument to cmake otherwise Qt is not detected: -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE=D:/Qt/4.6.2/bin/qmake.exe

The build step halts with this error:

Answer 1

It's not clear from the Jom output what the error is.

Try running the latest version of Qt Creator (2.0) and also adding the Qt bin/ directory into your PATH.
